I want my descendants to live free

"What kind of future do I want my kids and their kids to live in? A tightly controlled, safe future where they are watched out for and protected from anything that might harm them? Where human rights are thrown under the bus in the name of some nebulous common good? Or a liberated future where they are free to explore their full potential, as long as they don’t violate the identical rights of anyone else, with no implied guarantees?" (01/20/12)
